Chapter 162: There is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth

Mr. Chen looked at Xu Fan with his eyes shining. It would be great if he could see Xu Fan splashing ink on the spot.

"Director Xu, don't know what you mean?" Mr. Chen asked Xu Fan, his expectation beyond words.

"You are always the old birthday star tonight. As long as you are always happy, Xu Fan can do whatever he wants, haha!" Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go, I know there is a calligraphy and painting room upstairs, Xiangshui, please ask someone to arrange it, we will go up now." Mr. Chen was in great interest at this time.

"Dad, you see that the banquet is about to begin. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to go at this time?" Chen Xiangshui said in embarrassment.

"Haha, the old man is confused, Director Xu, then we will go up later?" Mr. Chen asked.

"It's up to your will!" Xu Fan smiled. Since this old man gave him such a face, he should have made some expressions. It seems that he has to spend some time writing to the old man later.

The birthday party began, and with the guests coming up to celebrate the birthday, Xu Fan found that the group who had just come downstairs to welcome him was just the tip of the iceberg!

The old man who has been running for many years is indeed not comparable to his "nova" as a "nova". Compared with the people present at this time, his engagement banquet was only dull.

Xu Fan even saw a veteran general at the military district level and three deputy military district level calling the old man a "old squad leader". There were seventy or eighty county-level cadres like Blue Light, and countless other ordinary personnel like Xiao Tong. The entire "Morning Hall" almost occupies the entire fifteenth floor. However, such a wide hall still gives people a slight crowding feeling, which is really not simple!

However, thinking that the old man could still put down his figure when he had such a "momentum", Xu Fan added a little respect to the old man. I think there should be a reason why his daughter and grandson developed such a temperament.

After everyone congratulated each other, Chen Xiangshui had free time and came forward with a glass of wine and said, "Director Xu, I was rude just now! I punished myself for one cup."

Xu Fan immediately stood up, drank the wine to the end, and smiled and said, "As long as Vice Minister Chen doesn't mind Xu Fan's willfulness, Xu Fan will be grateful."

Chen Xiangshui smiled and said, "How can Director Xu be called willful? It should be straightforward, haha!"

Once the perception of people changes, many problems seem to be not problems. After talking to Chen Xiangshui for a while, Xu Fan found that the boss of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department was very insightful about all aspects of things and had many places worth learning from his own learning, especially when he analyzed various personnel relationships from the perspective of the Provincial Party Committee, which made Xu Fan feel refreshed.

Chen Xiangshui also discovered that Xu Fan did not gain his current status with a few excellent backstages and several lucky opportunities as he imagined. He has a common language with him in many fields and has great inspiration for himself.

The big and small ones, regardless of the fact that the banquet was underway, left the banquet hall together and came to the small lounge next to it to talk.

"So you two are really here, so it's easy for me to find!" Lu Qingfeng suddenly appeared at the door of the lounge.

Chen Xiangshui looked at his watch and was surprised to find that two hours had passed, and time passed so quickly!

"Xiao Xu, it seems that we can only continue talking next time. It should be almost over there. Let's go back quickly. The old man should criticize me later. Leave him alone and run here by himself, haha!" Chen Xiangshui smiled.

Lu Qingfeng looked at Chen Xiangshui and Xu Fan in surprise, looking like "we are old friends". How hard is this? You two were still having a "wrong" situation just now!

Xu Fan smiled slightly. He was happy to see the improvement of his relationship with the Chen family. After all, he wanted to continue to hang out in the officialdom of Tianyan City. If such a potential force always causes trouble for himself, it would waste a lot of his energy and time. I believe that at this dinner, he would be friendly to the Chen family and spread throughout Tianyan City through the mouths of those guests. This concern should no longer exist.

When I returned to the banquet hall, I saw that the guests had almost dispersed. There were only a few leaders who were close to Mr. Chen, and the leading cadres in Tianyan City were still present.

"Director Xu, I can't wait to go upstairs, haha!" Mr. Chen was delighted to see Xu Fan, his son and son-in-law appear in the banquet hall.

Xu Fan smiled and nodded, and followed the crowd to the hotel's calligraphy and painting studio.

This place was originally prepared for customers who love calligraphy and painting. The indoor screens divide the calligraphy and painting studio into multiple areas, oil painting areas, Chinese painting areas, calligraphy areas, etc. Xu Fan and others came directly to the calligraphy area, where someone had prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Xiao Xu, please, haha, we are all looking forward to it!" Chen Xiangshui smiled.

The old man was also a little surprised by his son's name to Xu Fan, but then he smiled. If the Chen family could maintain a good personal relationship with Xu Fan and Xu Fan could maintain this momentum and continue to improve, would he have to worry about the Chen family's destruction in a hundred years?

"Then it's better to obey your orders than respect!" Xu Fan said with a smile.

After coming to the desk, I spread out the rice paper, dipped it ink, and calmed down. A big regular script word "Shou" appeared on the paper!

"Sovereign and solemn, simple and melodious! Good!" Mr. Chen praised.

Xu Fan smiled slightly, changed his hard hair, and began to write "longevity" in different shapes. This move was to imitate the ancients to write a hundred-year-old picture!

Of course, there are still some differences from the hundred-day life chart called "national treasure". For convenience, Xu Fan did not fill in the small "shou" characters in the large "shou" character outlined in advance, but wrote a hundred small "shou" characters neatly around him. With Xu Fan's memory, the "national treasure" spelling has been clearly engraved in his mind, so all the "shou" fonts are exactly the same as one, Yi seal script, ancient clerical script, ancient Dou bronze inscriptions, flying white scripts, etc., one by one, but written in Xu Fan's pen, bringing a fresh and natural flavor!

Xu Fan wrote selflessly, immersed in the profoundness of national culture!

The people watching were stunned to look at Xu Fan, who was already "crazy". This is too much! Even if everyone writes those calligraphy, so many different fonts and styles of "Shou" characters, I'm afraid each has to consider for a long time to express the meaning. Xu Fan is better, with one hundred and one word without pause. Fifteen minutes later, a shocking masterpiece appeared in this small calligraphy and painting studio!

Including Mr. Chen, all the bystanders couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Today, I've seen it! It took months or even years for a picture of a hundred years to carefully make it, but this person actually made such a pair in fifteen minutes!

Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he had written a work so devotedly. With his physical strength and spirit at this time, he could not bear it. It is conceivable that this work has poured all his efforts into it! It can be said that it is the highest achievement work that has been learning calligraphy so far!

"Mr. Chen, how about it? Are you still satisfied?" Xu Fan gently put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his wrist.

"Satisfied, I'm so satisfied!" Mr. Chen laughed. Suddenly he thought that this word was intended to give to him by Xu Fan. The feeling of falling pies from the sky was so wonderful. This word can be passed down as a family heirloom to future generations!

"Xiao Xu, a great talent!" Chen Xiangshui sighed. He admired the words "longevity" on the paper, thinking about how to borrow it from the old man when he went back to let him appreciate it for several months. However, looking at the old man's appearance, it would probably be a bit difficult!

"Xiao Xu, I sincerely invite you to join our Calligraphers Association in Tianyan City!" Mr. Chen also called Xu Fan Xiao Xu with his son.

"Just my level? Is it OK?" Xu Fan smiled.

"If your level is not good, I, the chairman of the Calligraphy Association, will be even worse. Haha, as long as you put this work in front of all members, there will be no problem at all. I guess by the next congress, I, the chairman, will have to abdicate and give in to the virtuous." Mr. Chen smiled.

Xu Fanjue still has a great favor for a community organization like the Calligraphers Association, which has a strong literary atmosphere, and it will not take up much time for joining the club, so he nodded and agreed.

And everyone in the field was also drooling at this 100th birthday picture!

"Director Xu, can you write one for us? Just a few words, and you don't have to be as troublesome as Mr. Chen." Xiong Pingsheng, relying on his being the boss, was the first to make a request.

Xu Fan agreed with a smile, and anyway, one is written, and two are written.

Just as he picked up his pen again, the fire alarm suddenly sounded loudly, everyone was shocked, and the word "fire" immediately appeared in people's minds!

Xu Fan calmly put down his pen in his hand, came to the window of the calligraphy and painting studio, opened the window, and looked down. Heavy smoke had already emerged on the 14th floor, blocking it!

When I looked up again, I was dizzy. The seventeenth floor also caught fire, and I could see small flames coming out of the window!

Hurry up and stretched out the thought waves, centering on the 16th floor where the calligraphy and painting studio is located. Xu Fan frowned tightly. The firefighting in this hotel is pretty good, and there are not many flammable items, so the fire did not spread very quickly, but it was only a matter of time to reach the 16th floor. When the fire brigade in the bureau came to support it, I wonder if it was too late!

Fortunately, the several floors that caught fire were not hotel rooms, and there were not many trapped people, otherwise there would be a large number of casualties.

Suddenly, the phone in the room rang, and the hotel switchboard notified all customers to evacuate immediately.
Chapter completed!
